rsync on cygwin: Connection reset by peer

[Jake Repp]

I have been trying to get rsync running correctly on cygwin for the past
couple of days. I found a post on the cygwin list that said there was a
bug in cygwin when using socketpair() but when I compiled the sample code:
(http://jrepp.com/rsync/socketpair.c) both ways it works fine. Here's the
article for reference:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-08/msg00357.html

I am running the latest update from cvs

Here's what happens when I try to get a module list from the cgywin
system from a freebsd4.4 system: http://jrepp.com/rsync/packetlog.txt

rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(151)

read_timeout is calling die_from_error with errno == 104

when going from cygwin to cygwin (uname: CYGWIN_NT-5.0 IGXDEV21
1.3.3(0.46/3/2) 2001-09-12 23:54 i686 unknown)

I get just:
rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(151)

I have tried compiling with and without -DSOCKET_PAIR with the same
results.

On a side note here is a simple patch to help when running rsync as
a service, this patch doesn't fix or cause the error (the error exists
before this patch)

I'm going to keep trying to fix this of course but if anyone else has a
quick patch or any suggestions they would be most appreciated.
